Did you ever stop to think that GS might have very well asked themselves what was in it for them to give the loan? Of course they did. Not every day they are granted their most dreamed for wish to possibly own a US Senator for a measly (to them) half million.

There was no error here.

Comparing Geithners FAILURE to pay taxes, to Cruz' campaign treasurer's failure to provide the loan information in a specific manner, WHEN THE INFORMATION WAS TIMELY FILED WITH THE FEC, is clearly a desperate grasping at straws.
Tax cheats rank way above Goldman Sachs insiders.

Sure, thing. Valid point you got there. I bet GS called a special meeting to sit around and rub their hands together in delight knowing that by loaning Cruz (the candidate going up against the GOP favorite) money against his own assets would make him their b*tch. And just look at all that pro-Wall Street legislation that Cruz has sponsored in the senate.

Boy are those Banksters straight up geniuses or what?!?!?!?

Now Cruz is a GS insider? Alrighty then. I know that all those pro-GS bills that Cruz has sponsored are the final nail in that coffin, huh?

You are precious!

Cruz's wife is a director at Goldman. He's not this "true conservative" you think he is.

The perception is that he was bought. Just as the perception that he is a Canadian and not a natural born US citizen,

No amount of your spin and twist alters those perceptions. Try as hard as you can, the perceptions remain.

Yeah, the reality is, the low information voter of today cannot become educated and informed at this stage of the game. I hear you!

Between the eligibility question and the lies of omission on his campaign filings, it is time to stick in the fork on Cruz. This will get us to the real battle royale - Trump versus the GOP - a little sooner than expected. Can't wait. I figure Jersey Christie is the only one who can go toe to toe with the loud mouth from New York.

I can't wait to see 13 Hours. Not that I think that the truth will change anything with regard to Hilary's expected coronation, but I look forward to the truth coming out and the victims' story being made public.
